Standard (Generation 1) Products

Product Description

ALTA wireless accelerometers can be used in a host of applications where knowing impact, vibration, inclination, etc. is required.

The wireless accelerometer - tilt sensor activates at a set time interval (defined by user) and converts accelerometer measurements to pitch and roll (0 to 180° -> -180° to 0°). The data is displayed in degrees with 0.1° of resolution.

Superior power management provides ALTA sensors with almost twice the battery life of Monnit’s standard wireless sensors.

Coin cell sensors typically last 3+ years.

AA and Industrial sensors typically last up to 12+ years.

ALTA products employ Monnit's new Encrypt-RF® Security (256-bit Diffie Hellman key exchange and AES-128 CBC encryption for all sensor data messages), so security is maintained at all communication points from sensor to gateway, gateway to software, then back again.

Integrated on-board data storage allows ALTA sensors to store data messages if communication to a wireless gateway is disrupted (power outage, Internet outage, or out of range). Messages that can’t be delivered will be time-stamped and stored in memory (up to the last 512 messages) until communication with the gateway is restored, at which point the messages will all be transmitted.

Over-the-air updates allow ALTA products to be updated remotely if new fixes or features become available.
